After advertising executives, meth-cooking cancer patients and covert spy operatives, AMC decided to make its next drama series about… zombies, of course. Based on the monthly black and white comic series by Robert Kirkman, “The Walking Dead” stars Andrew Lincoln (“Love, Actually) as Rick Grimes, a police office who is shot in the line of duty and hospitalized. When he wakes up, he discovers zombies have taken over the world. The series will premiere on AMC on October 31 (yep, Halloween) at 10 p.m. ET and is produced and directed by Frank Darabont (“The Shawshank Redemption”). Watch the trailer after the jump.
